Just a suggestion: As it stands now, each round could take 12 days (24 picks * a half a day each), not counting any exceptions that have/will be granted.

Instead, how about this process?
1) Everyone PM their first-round picks to Scot.
2) Scot publishes the list up to the point of any conflict (with the first drafting team obviously getting the guy).
3) The team who duplicated a previous pick gets 24 hours to make its replacement pick (and can see who has been taken already, so it's not like this stage can have more than one step)
4) Repeat for Rounds 2 and 3.

Given the variety of weight classes and overall rankings available, how many dupes will there be per round? Even if there are four, the round is over in four days, not 12. [Edit: Actually, perhaps even quicker, since a PM regarding dupe picks can go out simultaneously to all those involved and not have to wait until that pick comes up]

Scot, if you can't be hands-on enough to moderate this process at the moment, I would be more than happy to do it. I don't want to run the league, but I have plenty of time on my hands the next couple weeks to get this done, if this an agreeable format.
